It is suggested that a new coaching staff is set to take over once Rahul Dravid’s stint as a head coach comes to an end following the T20 World Cup 2024.
Rhodes is notoriously famous for being one of the best fielders of his generation. He was part of the Mumbai Indians camp for nine years following which had moved to the Lucknow Super Giants as their fielding coach.

My wife and I love the country, and it has already given us so much… We have two children born in India.” He also spoke about adding “a few more things” to the coaching process.
